We know our Canadian drivers won’t be happy with the results of their qualifying efforts in Senior Rok as both Marco DiLeo and Xavier Harris are ranked in the bottom half. Now they will need to get to work and move forward in the heats.

Intensity on the grid for Mini Rok qualifying as five groups of drivers took to the track. A notable driver from the USA was on top as Alex Powell put down the fastest overall time for the outright pole-position. Frankie Esposito found himself right in the middle of the pack in his group, but wound up just over the 100 mark in 101st.

Dale Curran put in a great lap in Rok Junior to end up fourth in his group and fifth overall. Initially the results were separated by group, but now have been adjusted for overall time. Clark is still struggling for speed and wound up sixty-first. He will have to race his way forward. Rok Cup USA’s Matheus Morgatto scored the outright pole-position.
